As M V Wilkes’ son and it may be better that someone else corrects this article which wrongly describes my grandfather V J Wilkes as an accounts clerk.

My grandfather V J Wilkes OBE rose to a senior position in Lord Dudley`s mining interests and was at one time represented South Staffordshire on the National Coal Board. He was also president of Dudley Council 1931-2. My grandfather was appointed OBE for services as Coal Supply Officer in the 2nd world war. During the coal strikes he was swarn in as a Special Constable. To quote from the note by M V Wilkes with VJ’s Special Constables’ medal, ‘It was the custom to so appoint prominent people in this way as a gesture without any expectation that they would be called upon for active service’ Hemiarnum (talk) 13:09, 11 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
